Final Fantasy VII Remake W.I.P. (please view)!

[Chibi Cloud]

STOP! Before you do anything else, please take a moment to read what I've got to say:

Hey guys. I know this is probably the forth time I've done a Final Fantasy VII box, but I like the game so much and I'm looking forward to a remake. I want the story to be told, one last time, and of course everything will look nicer, thanks to the PS3. The battle system, expressions, graphics, voices, you name it! If people have never experienced the original, then this is Square Enix's perfect opportunity.

Anyway, here's my FFVII box. It's still incomplete, but I'll get to that. Just you wait. Advice and opinions are more than welcome. Also, if anyone could provide me with a Final Fantasy VII logo (styled after Advent Children), that would be great. Credit will be given!

There she is. Haha. I'll shut up, uh, NOW...? Or maybe not...? Hehe

I know it's pretty bland and simple, but at least the style is different from other FFVII boxes. Trust me, a lot of originality went into this one. Ooh! I almost forgot! Credit to WickedGamer1 for the sexy PS3 template. Whatever happened to that guy anyway? He's barely active...

Yet another thread of mine goes unnoticed. C'mon, guys. I know you're there.

Hmph, this thread is getting a lot of views but no posts nor replies.

Sorry to beg, but why is this thread getting no attention? I mean, seriously. Is there something wrong? Yet, my WIP gets 52 views, but no comments. I worked hard on this box, and I'm curious as to what you guys think. All I want is advice on what it could improve on. It's not like I'm bumping the thread constantly to get attention. I've waited long enough. No offense, but you guys are just being rude.

I think it looks very nice chibi. The cloud pic on the front seems a little low-res/blurry though. There are higher-res versions available on the web.

A good twist would also be to have the main title sidewards on the left side of cloud.

The back is quite neat and well organised. I think you should have that black area underneath the legal info stuff also the same yellow-ish color. I'm not too sure about having Aeris's head facing away from the viewer, maybe she should be facing towards us?

Maybe also experiment with different types of screen borders?

Also some of those hexagon effects on the front would look nice if you can subtlely blend them on the back cover.

Now isn't really a good time to expect comments and sometimes your WIPs can be overlooked, it's late for a lot of people and it's usually pretty inactive at this time so you shouldn't get too worked up Chibi.

Anyway this box is pretty cool, sometimes I really like simple boxes and this fits the bill. I'm not fond that the copyright text is in a black box because things are so white elsewhere. The text could be more elegant if it's not all in uppercase.

Thanks for the advice, dmshaposv. Although, I wish I could do all those things on paint. Heheheh...?^^P

Eh, I shouldn't get worked up so easily. I guess you're right, but still. That doesn't change the fact when I see members online. I submitted this thread yesterday, and it went unnoticed. Why? All I wanted was advice and opinions. That's all.

Thanks, E_G. I'm pretty sure there would be people complaining about how plain my box was...

Dmshaposv, you have good tastes in box arts. Thanks for the advice! By the way, does the front look fine like this?

The picture on the front is low quality, you need to fix that. I'm not a big fan of the logo color in the front. Me too think that Aeris should be facing the viewer and not giving him her back. The placement of screenshots is cool, but try and place a more creative border around them cause this black stroke is pretty plain.
But since you made this all on paint then I think you did a splinded job! Really great, honestly! ^^

Thank you, White_Dove! I appreciate it. Do you think I should redo the front? Also, do you think the logo placement is bad?

I think you need to find an image with higher quality, it is a very common image so I don't think you'll fail at finding it. the logo placement is cool as I see it, but I don't like the color, also if I were you I'd add some more details to the front... somehow, heh!
Good luck and CAN'T wait to see it finished!

Thanks sis.^^ I'll do that.

[Chibi Cloud]

Oh, and by the way, White_Dove. Does this look like a good front image to you?

[White_Dove]

Thanks bro.^^ I'll do that.

Did I just read you say 'bro'??? cause I am a 'sis'. Honestly guys how can you imagine a guy calling himself 'White Dove"? xD

The image looks ok, but then you'd need to use images like it on the back. I think the one you are already using is better. ^^

Wha...? I'm such a dork. *hits head*

Thanks "sis". Better now? Haha.^^ Yeah, I think you're right. I should go with the same image style. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I understood the first sentence, but what were you trying to tell me in the second?
